Key Features

Automated Incident Management

Junos Space Service Now simplifies the tasks associated with incident management with just a few clicks. Integration with the CSC allows case creation to be automated. Incidents are identified based on system triggers. Advanced Insight Scripts (AI-Scripts) on the Junos OS devices automatically collect troubleshooting and diagnostic data based on these triggers and delivers the information to the Service Now console.

Customers can select these incidents to not only open cases with JTAC for these recorded incidents, but they also have the option to include all relevant device, event, and diagnostics information. This permits a substantial reduction in time spent by the operations team in managing the environment, while also reducing time spent in resolving issues.

Junos Space Service Now Reporting Interface

The Junos Space Service Now reporting interface aggregates and analyzes a myriad of data and information from your network, and displays reporting specific to each incident. Reporting can also be consolidated by device or group of devices. Service Now provides tools that allow you to empower your network operations staff by accessing specific troubleshooting information from Juniper and managing staff workload based on case activity.

Inventory Management Assistance

Junos Space Service Now automatically collects and tracks the most current inventory details for the devices it manages. This includes information such as the device name, software version, platform, serial number, and chassis inventory details. This information is available for review and automatically included in the diagnostic information when a trouble ticket is opened with JTAC via the incident management functionality.

Integrated Support

Implementing AI-Scripts gives Junos-based products the ability to detect and respond to more than 470 events. The AI-Scripts only activate when an event is detected, so they don’t interfere with system processes. When activated, the AI-Scripts perform essential support tasks such as capturing required diagnostic data. This data is sent to the Juniper Case Attachment Tool Suite, where it is automatically analyzed and used by JTAC engineers. All data is maintained in a secured big data infrastructure for fast, continuous access.

Targeted Proactive Bug Notification

This capability allows you to receive a notification on new reported critical and major product bugs that may impact your network. Targeted proactive bug notifications will assess your organization’s network profile and provide you with bug information, along with details on the devices that may be impacted by the bugs.

The information included in the notification includes details such as the bug description, possible trigger, and workarounds if available. This information provides proactive actionable data that you can use to understand the potential impact of product bugs to your network. Information on the bug notification is stored within Service Insight for review as needed.

Proactive notifications can significantly reduce the time spent by the operations manager for bug review and provide immediate impact analysis to JTAC and the operations team in case of critical bugs identified as a risk to network operations.

On-Demand EOL/EOS/EOE Report

This feature provides you with the ability to automatically generate End of Life (EOL), End of Service (EOS), and End of Engineering (EOE) reports that match your network devices. The report is generated based on official Juniper EOL/EOS/EOE announcements.

On-demand EOL/EOS/EOE reports are created showing the currently deployed network inventory. These reports typically include device, announcement details, last software engineering support, last hardware engineering support, and replacement product information. The network operations team has the ability to choose device(s) and see EOL/EOS/EOE milestone dates for individual field-replaceable units (FRUs). The devices and FRUs approaching EOL are flagged and corresponding replacement part numbers are shown.

The network administrator has the ability to download these reports for offline network planning purposes. Juniper resources are available to answer any follow-up questions that may arise with respect to these reports.

The intelligent reports above are generated based on information collected through Service Now from devices on your network. When reports are completed by Juniper engineers, they are automatically sent to you through Service Insight.

Automated Infrastructure

Juniper incorporates advanced automation and big data tools within its support processes to ensure results are achieved quickly and accurately. These fully automated tools operate without human interaction; every data file received is automatically analyzed to identify problems.

The Juniper Case Attachment Suite includes several tools that automatically scan files and determine root cause. Big data analytics are employed to store and reference historical information for precise and reliable troubleshooting, delivering essential support information to customers in real-time.
